The two consonants representing two figures must be converted into a word, to which should be affixed some striking idea; and the images represented, connected together. The objects when selected, each being a word, must be arranged in the different places, beginning with the floor, and proceeding to the first, second, and third walls, etc. In making these words, it is necessary that the two consonants required should be the two first in the word; if there be more than two it is of no importance, as the two first only will be needful.
